Since the day I was born I can't remember MR KROEHNKE not being in our lives. Bob and Polly (and then Robbie and John) were a huge part of our life growing up and there for everything...When our Mom (Peggy) passed, Polly held on to us, and when Dad (Dick) was ill and then passed...there was Bob. What Bob did for our Dad when he was suffering we'll never forget. I can't think of Wheaton without KRONK...he will be sorely missed and never forgotten.

Love to Polly, Rob, John and the entire family. Wish I could be there in person.

We are so saddened by the news. We are blessed to have known Bob for 44 years beginning as neighbors in Wheaton. The relationship continued when Bob and Poly moved to the Winfield area the same year we did. We worked with Bob over many years in support of the Winfield community.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Bob's family at this very sad time and we express our heartfelt condolences to them.
